All For One and One For All: The NYC Record Pool pt.2

In this episode Tim and Jeremy continue the story of the NYC Record Pool. We hear how the Pool invited the record labels to their inaugural meeting in the basement of David Mancuso's Prince Street Loft, the demands they made of them, and the egalitarian way they wished the Pool to be organised. These techniques of self organisation and collective self-assertion are set against the wider contemporary context of political and social movements of the New Left. We also hear about feedback forms, the changing status of the DJ as a professional category, modern platform capitalism, and how the DJs of the Pool staged a sit-in protest at the offices of a record company who refused to play ball.   Produced and edited by Matt Huxley.     Tune in, Turn on, Get down!   Become a patron from £3 a month by visiting www.patreon.com/LoveMessagePod Check out our new website: https://www.loveisthemessagepod.co.uk/ Tracklist:   Double Exposure - My Love is Free D.C.

Love is the Message: Music, Dance & Counterculture is a new show from Tim Lawrence and Jeremy Gilbert, both of them authors, academics, DJs and dance party organisers. Tune in, Turn on and Get Down to in-depth discussion of the sonic, social and political legacies of radical movements from the 1960s to today. Starting with David Mancuso's NYC Loft parties, we’ll explore the countercultural sounds, scenes and ideas of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. ”There’s one big party going on all the time. Sometimes we get to tune into it.” The rest of the time there’s Love Is The Message.
